VC Bird International Airport (named after one of the island’s first prime ministers, Vere Cornwall Bird) is the major airport for the islands of Antigua and Barbuda (was built as Coolidge Air Force base by the US during World War II and then given over to Antigua for a civil airport after the war).
In February 2008 plans were put into action to expand the airport so that Antigua could begin to focus on the South American tourism market to a greater extent.
In November 2011 work began on the construction of a new and modern terminal building for the V.C Bird International Airport. The project is being financed by The People’s Republic of China and constructed by The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation.
The new terminal became operational on August 26, 2015. All flights operate from the new facility. The terminal covers 23,000 square meters (247,570 square feet), with four jet bridges, modern security screening facilities, up-to-date passenger processing and monitoring facilities, and a CCTV security system.
